BELO HORIZONTE, BRAZIL, Dec. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jupiter Gold Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF) (“Jupiter Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the necessary operational licensing has been obtained with respected to the Company's 100%-owned quartzite project (the “Project”) in the state of Minas Gerais. The Project is now fully licensed for commercial mining and operations are planned to start in early 2023.
Jupiter Gold’s geology team discovered the quartzite deposit in the third quarter of 2020 during detailed field reconnaissance in one of the Company’s mineral rights. In the first quarter of 2021, a drilling campaign was undertaken which confirmed the presence of high-quality quartzite in the samples collected. Preliminary calculations indicated a potential of 3.9 million tons of quartzite mineralization. Photos of quartzite cores from the Project are attached to this release.
During the second and third quarters of 2021, specialized consultants hired by Jupiter Gold performed all necessary environmental studies in the Project area for the application to obtain the quarry’s operational licensing, which has now been obtained. Jupiter Gold has hired a mining engineer with extensive experience in quartzite mining and in the commercialization of such production. The revenue potential ranges between $1,800 to $2,000 per cubic meter of quartzite production sold.
Joel de Paiva Monteiro, Esq., a board member of Jupiter Gold, commented, "It has been rewarding to observe the continued progress of the Quartzite Project from our initial discovery of the deposit to the positive results of the drilling campaign, to the final regulatory milestone necessary for the commencement of operations. Quartzite mining operations require relatively small initial costs and few workers. We are excited to be in the position to start revenue-generating operations."
